Peaky blinders angel- Completed

A duck called duck

Rose is 15. Finn is 11

Rose pov

"Your go roe" my youngest brother finn said.

"Dare" I said trying to be brave. I could my brother thinking hard trying to come up with the perfect dare

"Drink a full bottle of whiskey then climb the tree up to the tallest branch" he said. Easy. He gave me a bottle as we sat under a tree in the shade. I downed the bottle quickly and instantly began my climb to the top. It was going fine. My feet were finding the branches and my arms were pulling me up. I got to the top branch and stood there

"See finn. Easy as pie" I said. Talked too soon. Just as those words left my lips, I stumbled backwards and fell from the tree and onto the hard ground below

Finn pov

It was only supposed to be a dare. I didn't want her to get hurt. But now, my older sister lay unconscious in a field with only a couple of trees around. I walked over to her and knelt down

"Rose....Rose I'm sorry. Please be ok" i begged as I slightly shook her.

"Rah" she said like a lion as she jumped up. I let out what I will admit to be a girlish scream as she fell down in heaps of giggles

"Don't do that you fucker" i said to her as she shoved me playfully

"You were so scared. Guess you really love me" she said

"No way" I was not admitting that I loved her. Rose Anne Shelby was a well known pain the arse and if I told her I loved her, she would never let it go. We head thunder rumble through the grey sky.

"Come on finn. We gotta get back before the rain. Aunt pol will go mad if I'm out in the rain" Rose said as she dragged me back home

"How come you ain't allowed out in rain but I am?" I asked

"Cuz I may seem perfect, but i always get gravely ill after being in the rain for too long. You won't remember but i almost died when I was 9. No one told you cuz they hid it from you incase it was nothing. Didn't wanna worry ya. But I had go hospital an everything" she said

"Bollocks" I replied

"It's true. Ask aunt pol when we get back" she said.

"Race ya" I said as i pushed her over and ran home. I heard her yell at me but she soon followed. I got there first and by that point, it had just started raining. Rose followed and luckily, we were hardly wet at all.

"Just in time" John said. 3 of his kids were here aswell

"Hey John boy, how come Rose isn't allowed in the rain but I am?" I asked him

"Rose had been out in the rain 3 times. Each time she almost dies. Last time she was 9 maybe 10. So we made a strict rule that she can't go outside in rain. Don't want her dying on us even though she is a massive pain in the arse" shit. She was right

"Cheers" Rose said sarcastically at the name calling. We both took a seat on the sofa but rose sought of fell down and then laughed. She was still abit drunk from the whiskey

"Fucking hell. What happened to ya fucking arm?" Arthur asked as he grabbed roses arm. When we looked at it, he wrist was bent in the opposite direction and 100% broken.

"How does that not hurt?" Tommy asked. She shrugged and we both tried not to laugh but failed miserably

"Alright. How much av you had to drink?" Ada asked

"Erm....not much" I said

"Ye. Just a whole bottle of whiskey" Rose admitted as she laughed once again. Really? She just had to tell them didn't she!

"Well no wonder it doesn't bloody hurt ya daft sod. We gotta go doctors with that before the alcohol wears off and ya feel it" Arthur said as he stood up and grabbed his coat.

"Please don't tell aunt pol" she begged

"We won't say anything but she might notice don't ya think?" John said sarcastically. Rose and Arthur left for the doctors and i was stuck with Tommy, John and my niece and nephews.

"So how she do it?" Tommy asked

"Fell from a tree" I replied

"Why was she in a tree?" John asked confused

"It's called childhood John. I know you're old so might have forgot something that was so long ago but don't be thick" I told him earning him to put me in a headlock. After 2 hours of torment, Arthur and Rose returned. She was in a cast and a think the alcohol had worn off

"How's your wrist?" Tommy asked her.

"Well I can still do this" she said as she stuck her middle finger up at him "so could be worse" she finished.

"Watch it Rose. You already got drunk and broke a bone. Pol is gonna kill ya" John said.

"I'm going to bed for the next 4 weeks until I can get this cast off. Maybe then aunt pol won't ever see it" she said as she frowned and went to the stairs

"You OK?" Arthur asked as she walked up the first step

"Ye. Just wanna be alone for abit" we all nodded and let her walk upstairs but she came down seconds later

"Finn?" She said telling me to come with her. I followed her up the stairs and we went into her bedroom where we spent the next few hours chatting. By the time polly came up to check on us, it was atleast 11pm.

"Are you 2 going bed now?" Polly asked

"What's the time please aunt pol?" Rose asked, hiding her arm behind her back

"It's 2 in the flipping morning ya daft sods" she said as she walked out to go to her own bed. I lay down in roses bed as she hugged me closer

"Today was fun" she said

"Definetly. Even though you did almost die" I reminded her

"Thank god for alcohol" she muttered before we both fell asleep. When we woke up the next day, it was just us 2 in the house. Everyone else had gone down to London for 'business' as if we didn't know what that meant.

"So whatcha wanna do today?" I asked rose

"Dunno. We could buy a pet and then get in trouble when the others come back and probably get grounded for not asking and then give the pet back" she suggested. I shrugged

"Why not?" I said as we left the room to go look for a pet. Didn't take long before we found the perfect pet. Let's just say, that when aunt pol came home to the sound of quacking, she was not happy

"What the fuck is that?" She asked as she saw us with the duck in a bowl on the table

"Calm down duck" Rose said causing us both to burst out laughing

"Yes haha very funny. Get it out of the house" she demanded

"But aunt pol, he has a name and everything" I said to her

"How'd you know it's a he?" Tommy asked

"It's a duck. Everyone knows chicks are girls and ducks are male" Rose said. Our brothers could be so dumb sometimes. They looked at us puzzled but shook it off

"OK. We will circle back to that. What's his name then?" Arthur asked

"We called him duck" I said

"How did you come up with such a creative name?" John asked

"Please tell me you don't need us to explain that. I thought even the simple minded would be able to crack that" Rose said. At that point, everyone walked out and left us to give the duck a bath in a bowl. At one point, the duck spread its wings and water went everywhere. Me and Rose looked at eachother before saying

"Best....pet....ever!!!"
